When the Pensacola Blue Wahoos begin the 2021 season, the fans will be welcomed back amid new COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
After opening the up on the road vs. the Mississippi Braves May 4, the Wahoos’ home opener is set for May 11 against the Birmingham Barons.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, team President Jonathan Griffith said that Major League Baseball has given the green light for 98% capacity at the stadium, which holds just over five thousand.
“Basically, we’ll have our sections down where the bullpens are; we’ll have a couple of rows knocked out there for that buffer zone as they call it,” said Griffith. “But after that then we’ll have seating everywhere else. We’ll have our party decks open, we’ll have all the other seating available; all of our season ticket holders will have their season tickets.”

The Pensacola Blue Wahoos are out with their 120-game schedule for the 2021 season, after losing the entire 2020 campaign to the COVID-19 pandemic. Safety measures will be in place at Blue Wahoos Stadium this summer.
Starting a month later than normal, Pensacola opens on the road against the Mississippi Braves on May 4 – with the home opener a week later against the Birmingham Barons. Team President Jonathan Griffith says all series will be six games, with each Monday off.
“With the new layout it should mean less travel, but also it’s going to be great for fans,” Griffith said. “Those Monday games were always tough for us, and so now, without having the Monday games to worry about it’s going to be great.”
